The legendary British rock band, The Cult, unveils its upcoming Death Cult tour, featuring performances at Niagara Falls and various locations in New York.
The British rock band The Cult is set to embark on a North American tour this fall, promising a unique musical experience that spans both their current catalog and their early-era work under the name Death Cult. Kicking off on October 9, 2025, in Niagara Falls, Ontario, and concluding on October 30 in Los Angeles, the tour will span several cities across the US and Canada[1][2][3].
The tour will feature two distinct sets: one performed under The Cult, featuring classics from their discography such as *Dreamtime*, *Love*, and hits from their later harder rock period. The other set will revisit their earlier post-punk and gothic rock material, including songs from their 1983-1984 era as Death Cult. This tour offers fans a unique "communal gathering of the tribes" experience, tracing The Cult’s musical roots and evolution through an immersive live performance that celebrates both the Death Cult origins and the band’s enduring legacy[1].
The U.S. leg of the tour includes stops at New York City's Beacon Theatre, Washington D.C.'s Warner Theatre, and Boston's Orpheum Theatre presented by Citizens[1][2][3]. Tickets for all shows go on sale on Friday, July 18, 2025, at 10 a.m. local time[1][2][3]. The Los Angeles band Patriarchy will open all dates on the tour[1][3].
The Cult formed in 1983, evolving from frontman Ian Astbury's prior project, Southern Death Cult[4]. They achieved mainstream success in both the U.K. and U.S. with albums like "Electric" (1987) and "Sonic Temple" (1989), which featured hits like "She Sells Sanctuary," "Fire Woman," and "Love Removal Machine." Most recently, The Cult released their 11th studio album, "Under the Midnight Sun," in 2022[5].
Fans can purchase tickets via Ticketmaster and verified resale platforms, including Vivid Seats, SeatGeek, and StubHub. First-time Vivid Seats customers can use code SYRACUSE20 for a $20 discount on a $200+ ticket order[6]. Tickets for sold-out shows may also be available on some of these platforms, depending on demand[7]. The album, along with the rest of the band's discography, is available for streaming on Apple Music (free trial)[8].
